THE PLOUGHBOY JAZZ BAND

24 November 2005 - Clevedon Jazz Club

Thursday 24 November sees a very welcome return visit to Clevedon Jazz Club's regular Walton Park venue for a very entertaining band from North Devon - The Ploughboy Jazz Band. So named because its original personnel consisted of off-duty farmers. In great demand throughout the Southwest, they are now regular performers and the 'host band' at their local Bude Jazz Festival.

Relaxed and melodious in the true New Orleans style, they have developed a wide repertoire over the last twenty years. The leader, and the only founder member left in the band, is Bob Manuel on trombone. George Cooke has been with the band for about 12 years and plays clarinet. Angus Thompson is another long time member of the band on cornet and completes a very experienced and able front line. The excellent rhythm section comprises John Baker on banjo, Eddie Adcock at the drums and Ray Newton on bass provides a solid base for the band to build on. Stan Thomas as additional reeds, being particularly melodic on saxaphone, joins the band for this gig.  There are no 'stars' in this band - they all work for one another and share the vocals.

The doors at Clevedon Jazz Club's Walton Park Hotel venue open at 8pm, the music starts at 8.30pm and its £6 'on the door'. Further details of this and all other Clevedon Jazz Club events, and Club membership - members get a substantial discount on admission charges! - are available from Trev on 0700 5806 252 or from the Club's web site at www.clevedonjazzclub.co.uk.
